Sara LaBelle, LPC

Sara LaBelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, and adjustments around work or major changes. She also addresses issues like sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

LaBelle uses approaches that center the client's perspective and build practical skills. She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice patterns of thought and behavior and to try small, testable changes.

Mindfulness-based techniques are woven in to help people manage stress and stay present during tense moments. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goal-setting and move toward what a person wants to change first. These methods are applied to what someone brings, whether it is parenting strain, career pressure, or coping with loss.

She often helps people who are dealing with adoption or foster care questions, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, or separation and divorce. Communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and control issues are also common topics in sessions.

Sara aims for clear, steady work in sessions. That looks like setting concrete goals, practicing new skills between meetings, and checking progress. People who prefer direct, practical approaches may find this a useful fit.
